    Linda, Barb, Amy and family – our deepest sympathy to your family – we were so saddened to hear of your mom’s passing. Maryann was a great (and funny!) lady, and I have fond memories of both her and your dad. Take solace in our faith and your many memories, and know you bestowed blessings on her by being her devoted family.
